  • Challenged Books and Magazines List Updated February 2012 2011
    Challenged Books and Magazines List Updated February 2012 This selective list provides information on numerous books and some magazines and newspapers that have been challenged in the past decades. Each challenge sought to limit public access to these publications in schools, libraries and elsewhere. Some challenges were upheld; others were rejected. We have tried to update our research on unresolved challenges. Because some challenges are dismissed, the publications remain on library shelves or curriculum lists. We think it is worthwhile to include such instances because the effect of a controversy over publications can spread even though the would-be banners lose. A book or magazine with a controversial reputation can be quietly dropped from reading lists and curricula. This interference can be most insidious—quiet acquiescence to the scare tactics that would-be censors know how to employ. Because organizations and community groups that ask for book and magazine bans usually want to avoid public controversies, it is often difficult to discover why challenges are launched or what becomes of them. If you know of book or magazine or newspaper challenges or, better still, satisfactory resolutions anywhere in Canada, please use the accompanying case study form to give us details. 2011 Brunetti, Ivan, Lilli Carré, et al.

A comedy with a dark underside, fi reworks fl y as each character yearns desperately for love. Full of wit and razor sharp dialogue, Private Lives remains one of the most successful and popular comedies ever written. Written in 1929, Private Lives was brilliantly revived at Hampstead in 1962, bringing about a ‘renaissance’ in Coward’s career and establishing Hampstead as a prominent new theatre for London. Private Lives was a runaway hit when it debuted in 1930, and the play has remained popular in revivals ever since.

  • Cold Feet 8 Wylie ITV Interviews 2
    SERIES 8 PRESS PACK Series 8 Award winning comedy drama COLD FEET returns for an eighth series; Adam (James Nesbitt) is back on the singles market, but for once in his life he’s not finding any takers – has he finally lost his mojo? Pete (John Thomson) on the other hand appears to have found his and, having recently renewed their wedding vows, some alfresco action is the icing on Pete and Jen's cake. However, mature student Jenny's (Fay Ripley) happiness is short lived when some unexpected news sends her into a tailspin. Fiercely independent Karen is more interested in work than relationships, especially when a mystery author’s manuscript lands on her desk. Meanwhile, David (Robert Bathurst) and Nikki (Siobhan Finneran) are enjoying a more frugal life when Nikki’s divorce settlement comes through tipping the balance. How far will David go to protect his pride?

"I'm delighted that viewers feel invested in the lives and loves of our imperfect heroes. And I'm excited that we're being given the opportunity to tell the next chapter of their stories. We've got plenty of trials and tribulations in store for them as they navigate their way through middle age, and more than a few laughs and tears along the way." - COLD FEET Creator, Mike Bullen. !
